Work machine shop
« on: February 13, 2010, 02:50:50 PM »
Hi guys, thought I would post a few shots of my company's machine shop. When I started over 11yrs ago we only had a selection of manual machines, we now have 2 CNC Tornado lathes and two VMC, a Bridgeport and Hurco, oh and a autosliding head Citizen lathe being delivered next week  :bugeye: . We do still have a few manual machines that I mainly use to make patterns, jig fixtures and the odd second opp. I particularly like using the little VSL Boxford lathe, its a really nice machine to play on work on  :D



















I will try and post some pix of the assembly area and upper workshop. The guys up there are a bit camera shy  :)

Nice playroom er... workshop
From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".


Forget about the price of gold and oil, its the price of beer that matters.
